Technology Enhancements - It is anticipated that the Government's requirement for the equipment described in this contract will extend over several years, perhaps exceeding the technological life of the proposed equipment. It may be in the best interest of the Government, as well as the Contractor, to substitute equipment of a newer technology for the equipment proposed, or some portion thereof, provided that the conditions below are satisfied. During the life of the contract, and under its terms and conditions, the Government may request, or the Contractor may propose to provide, technologically advanced equipment, components, software or any other item(s) contracted hereunder. Types of Upgrades - The upgrades covered by this clause will generally be substituted for functional items/systems already in the contract. The substitution may be in total or in part. The upgrades discussed in this clause are not replacements for items or systems already ordered and installed, and nothing in this clause shall be construed as authority for such replacement of installed equipment. The one exception to this exclusion is software. Installed software will always be eligible for an "upgrade," to allow the Government to maintain currency, consistency, and the compatibility in its software. It is further understood by the parties to this contract that this clause envisages technological refreshment related to the general type of hardware and software covered by the scope of this contract. Minimum Qualifications for Acceptance of Upgrades - The Government is under no obligation to substitute any item for an item already listed in the contract. However, subject to mutual agreement when required above, when items are added to this contract under this clause, the item or items shall meet the following criteria: (1) have been sold to the general public in substantial quantities before substitution under this clause; (2) meet or exceed all mandatory requirements of the contract; (3) be fully compatible with the originally proposed equipment; (4) the price should be equal or less than the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the item. The Contractor shall agree to all terms and conditions, including delivery and installation, being equal to or more favorable to the Government than the substituted equipment; (5) be judged technically acceptable by the COTR; (6) be approved in writing, by execution of a contract modification, signed by both the FBI Contracting Officer and the Contractor's representative; and (7) shall undergo acceptance testing in accordance with the terms of the contract. Pricing of Upgrades - The pricing of upgraded item(s) shall be negotiated on a case-by-case basis provided that the final price shall not exceed the limitations specified above. Delivery of Upgrades - Notwithstanding the delivery requirements set forth above, initial delivery requirements for upgraded items shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties to this contract at the time the upgrade item is added. The Contracting Officer shall have the right to set the delivery schedule based on the longer of the standard commercial delivery schedule of the item(s) or the contract's standard delivery schedule for similar item(s), if a mutually agreeable schedule cannot be met. After the first 60 days, the original contract schedule for delivery takes effect if it is less than the initial agreed upon delivery time. Identification of Technologically Advanced Products - While the Government reserves the right to independently solicit a proposal from the Contractor under the terms of this clause at any time, potential upgrades will normally be brought to the attention of the Government by the Contractor. Offers shall be submitted on an SF-1449 and are due by close of business on February 10, 2003. Please submit any questions, in writing, by January 30, 2003 to Karen Smith at the following facsimile number - (202) 324-5722.
